Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Tss5078 Ever since the release of movies like the Grudge and the Ring, a decade ago, we have been flooded with these similar movies and aren't you tired of them by now? The movie studios are, that's why all the recent ones have been direct to video releases with little to no promotion. I really don't understand why they keep insisting on beating us over the head with the same story over and over again. From Within is exactly like all the others, people start dying, most everyone sees it as strange coincidence, except for a hand full of people who see something supernatural. This time it's suicides in a small town, a bland, predictable take on a story that has been done to death! From Within has the distinction of being even worse, because of it's awful cast. This film proves that as long as you are good looking, someone, somewhere will be willing to put you in a movie, regardless of weather or not you actually have any talent. I choose this film, because once again, the description they wrote for it made it sound like one of the coolest horror movies of all time. Instead, what I got was boring, predictable, and a complete waste of time!
billcr12 Suicide by teenagers is a common theme and this time around, Rumer Willis, daughter of Demi Moore is one of the kids caught in the middle of the untimely deaths. Willis is Natalie, who is sitting on a rock with her boyfriend as he reads from a black book. After kissing her he pulls out a gun and shoots himself. Hows that for the opening scene of a movie. Another high school student, Lindsay, is at a clothing store shopping with her mother when Natalie storms in with the black book, screams about a girl following her and runs to a back room and when Lindsay's father checks out the situation, he finds Natalie bleeding profusely with a pair of scissors sticking out of her neck.Several hours later, Natalie's father hangs himself. Are we having fun yet? The towns folks then have a small holy war between the secular and holy rollers. More stupidity follows with an uninteresting storyline and very pedestrian acting to a silly ending.
cameronladd I watch a fairly substantial amount of films, and I use IMDb on a daily basis, but I finally made an account just to rate and review this movie. I cannot believe I was so misled. This film could not be anymore bland and hackneyed. Yes this review contains spoilers, but I don't think it should matter on the basis that you should by no means partake in the watching of this movie.The movie began with a tidbit of excitement, hoping that these beginning scenes of violence and "suspense" would pan out to the rest of the movie, I continued to watch. Though the beginning is interesting, the "mystery" of the movie is easily solvable within the first 15 minutes. But they persist in not giving enough detail about what's going on, and continue to show you "horror" scenes of death that anyone who has seen a basic slasher film would be able to foresee.This movie was not only unable to create a dark and creepy atmosphere, but it was also unable to make me jump. I'm a paranoid movie watcher, I watch at the edge of my seat, and even I was unable to be shaken by this film.The characters were very forgettable and simply so ignorant and polarized that it was very difficult to tell if this was made by a 16 year old girl, or a professional.You may be asking why this dud didn't get 1 star from me. There were some redeeming factors to this film. Two scenes in particular. The one where "Jesus' soldier" burns the witch, and the ending. Although I can't say the ending was much of a mind bender, on accounts that I was so relieved the film was over that I didn't much care what happened during the credits, that I was relieved that there was a little more to this film than I had previously conceived.Although there was a glimmer of greatness in the movie, the rest was just true mediocrity. To conclude, this movie wasn't for me, I do not recommend it. This movie is neither interesting nor scary. But if you truly want to watch it, go ahead and enjoy a textbook example of the declining mainstream horror genre.
Saad Khan FROM WITHIN – TRASH IT ( D ) From within is one of those movies which makes you think, who wrote it and why? And who put money on it? Who agree to direct that Awful Script and then who agree to act in it? And most important question of all, why the Hell I watched it in 1st place! Well my reason was Thomas Dekker, I think he is decent and sensible actor but after tanking his show (Sarah Conner Chronicles), he doesn't have much choice except doing anything comes along. The biggest surprise is that the movie won awards at Solstice Film Festival for best movie, actor and actress. What a joke I think they didn't have some thing better then this to win! Anyways Elizabeth Rice, Thomas Dekker and Kelly Blatz did fine jobs regardless of a dreadful script! Overall Dreadful Experience!
